Kerri's Awesome 'BlogThe rantings of an Aussie on the verge of insanity.

Duncan is the newest addition to the McCrorey family. He is an 18 month old kitty with a big fat case of the snuggles. He was surrendered to animal welfare when his family were moving interstate to look for work and couldn’t afford to keep him. He’s adorable and we’ve fallen in love with him [...]

I’d like to begin by saying that I really hate zoos.  I hate that so many creatures are captive in cages with man made routines, completely helpless. However, I did my duty a few weeks back and went along to the family trip to the zoo.  I was not looking forward to it.  I decided [...]

I know, I’ve been slack and didn’t update my blog for the longest time and now I have to catch up.  This is old news, but I’m doing it anyway.  Get  over it. 2009 was my first Halloween in the USA, it also happened to coincide with my girls visiting. Our first taste of Halloween [...]

I have to share… we spent the afternoon at the park with the kids and we all had an absolute ball! Oh shit, there it goes! Meet my niece and nephew!  Gorgeous, huh? Seriously Uncle Brad, get off your lazy ass and chase the damned thing!

Yesterday my eldest graduated from Sydney University with a Masters Degree in Education. She had an army of adoring fans there to witness the event.  She looked beautiful and we were all SO proud. Enough of the study, can someone please teach her how to cook?

Benni is a Rottweiler x Kelpie. We found him 10 years ago, at 6 months old, in the local pound while looking for a kitten (long story!).  He was so cute sitting there, head tilted to one side…. just looking at us.  No excitement…. no going nuts like all the other dogs in their cages, [...]

When I first saw this photo I was reduced to tears, she is just so beautiful. Congratulations baby girl, I love you very much. With love from your favourite, most attractive and [...]

50 Originally uploaded by Kerri McCrorey I have been dreading this number for years, but now that it’s here, I’m really quite liking it. I’m comfortable with the fact, for now, that today I am 50. Brad, of course, will be running his tail off spoiling me rotten, as usual. In fact at midnight he [...]

40th dinner – Bob and Phyllis Originally uploaded by Kerri McCrorey I’m late for Mother’s Day and getting in by the skin of my teeth for Father’s Day. Thank you for being such wonderful in-laws. It makes not having my own parents around a lot less depressing at these times. I love you!

I keep hearing about this phenomenon, but find it hard to grasp. Do other people’s kids leave home? Mine have been hanging around for 20 years and more and I’m still waiting for them to break the *choke* dreadful news that they are going to move out. Don’t get me wrong, I adore my kids. [...]
